the ounce to pound ratio was good. i made some brownies using probably 1 1/4 pounds of butter, which surprisely didn't make it taste obscenely like butter. i made made rice krispies as well, with the remaining 2 3/4 pounds which didn't absorb into the rice krispies completely. there was a thick layer of butter that solidified in the bottom of the rice krispies. they tasted decent i guess. they got you ridiculously baked though.
